Title: A team from 15 different counties
Post by: blanketattack on September 03, 2009, 11:01:28 PM
Mightn't necessarily be the best player from each county but more who fits in best...

Connaughton (W'meath)
McMenamin (Tyrone) Lacey (Donegal) O'Kane (Derry)
Moran (Mayo) Canty (Cork) Loughrey (Antrim)
Crawford (Meath) Earley (Kildare)
Galvin (Kerry)  Ryan (Limerick) Glynn (Wicklow)
Kelly (Sligo) Meehan (Galway) B Brogan (Dublin)

I tried to base it as much as possible on this year's form, Connaughton and Meehan being the obvious exceptions.

1 Connaughton - Westmeath
2 Lacey  - Donegal
3 Corey - Monaghan
4 Mallon - Armagh
5 Loughrey - Antrim
6 Canty - Cork
7 Barry Cahill - Dublin
8 Earley - Kildare
9 O'Hara - Sligo
10 Mortimer - Mayo
11 Kavanagh - Tyrone
12 Munelly  - Laois
13 Meehan - Galway
14 Donaghy - Kerry
15 Forde - Wexford

On mature reflection how could I leave out Tommy Freeman and Matty Forde?

New team

Karl Lacey (Donegal) John McKeon (Leitrim) Ross Donavan (Sligo)

James Loughrey (Antrim) Graham Canty (Cork) Barry Cahill (Dublin)

I'm sure there's still players left out that I'll think of later! But its a good exercise

An aberration thats all. Mc Garrity has done well most other years. Crawford was minced by the Dublin midfield who struggled against everyone else. Hardly a glowing recommendation.

Post by: Bitta-Banter on September 05, 2009, 05:49:35 PM
Based on the 2009 season;
1. Paddy O'Rourke - Meath
2. Ryan McMenamin - Tyrone
3. Brendan Donaghy - Armagh
4. Dessy Mone - Monaghan
5. Peadar Gardener - Mayo
6. Tony Scullion - Antrim
7. Paul Griffin - Dublin
8. Dermot Earley - Kildare
9. James Stafford - Wicklow
10. Paul Galvin - Kerry
11. Pearse O'Neill - Cork
12. Sean Armstrong - Galway
13. Eoin Bradley - Derry
14. Michael Murphy - Donegal
15. Danny Hughes - Down

Karl Lacey, Anthony Lynch, Michael Meehan, Brendy McVeigh, Declan O'Sullivan, James Kavanagh and Kevin Hughes would make it too, but felt the first 15 was best suited.
